Granite clocks and…read morebells The Princeton library is simply amazing. Not just impressive or kind of cool but just amazing. Difficult to come up with the proper adjectives to describe this library, especially consider what an itty, bitty little town Princeton is. The library's beginning was in 1884 when the generous and obviously very wealthy Edward Goodnow gave some money to have a library built. Actually Goodnow wanted a building built to be part library and part school. Another school for the kids was built around 1900 so the library took over the entire building. And what a building it is. Made of rose tinted granite and framed by brownstone, the building includes a huge clock tower with a thousand pound bell that still rings out every single hour. The site was selected because it had a great view and the library is indeed an imposing and stunning sight as you enter into the very, small town of Princeton. Once inside it just gets better. An incredible spiral staircase, the only one I have ever seen in a library is just the start. Lovely stained glass, great old pictures and some wonderful antique furniture is scattered about along with great wooden shelves and doors. Had to describe a library this wonderful. What made it even better were the two sweet and friendly librarians that took the time the tell us all about the incredible library that they were so proud of. I don't know if any library can ever be called perfect for everybody. But the stunning library in the tiny town of Princeton is as close to perfect as I've yet seen.

The collection is small but the welcome is big. I was offered a tour of the library and told about the book sale. Masks are optional which I love since I didn't get vaccinated for nothing, and there were no other patrons when I went there so social distancing was a breeze. Hand sanitizer is available. As an avid reader were I to move here I would either frequent other libraries in the area that are part of the C/W Mars regional system or use interlibrary loan to supplement what I would borrow from here.

Members use their supposed expertise to inject themselves into affairs in the City of Fitchburg, since they work out of its City Hall. For instance, one serves on the Board of Health. She was ignorant of covid basics (how tests work, the difference between being hospitalized incidentally with covid or due to covid), yet imposed restrictions on residents. Despite the low risk of children getting covid she voted to keep a school mask mandate in place, believing there would be a big spike in cases after February vacation. Fortunately she was outvoted, and no increase in cases occurred. Many times at Board of Health meetings she would whine about how much contact tracing she had to do, even when it was not required and Leominster was not having its cases traced. Finally other people were hired to take over this function. Another nurse who works here came to a School Committee and BOH meeting and disparaged data from mainstream sources such as the CDC and Massachusetts Department of Health, saying only her personal experience matters. Now, despite covid no longer being a pandemic according to Dr. Fauci, they are keeping a whole army of contact tracers on staff, including a highly paid epidemiologist and a supervisor. They examine wastewater to try to sniff out an increase in cases to justify this expense, but it's been months and they have yet to release a promised public dashboard of their data. I am betting we are stuck with this bloated staffing forever even though the contact tracers are supposed to be temps. This is a "solution" in search of a problem.
